No, it must not. But having sendmail setuid seems to be very common and
eventually features are limited if you don't use setuid. I'm not an
expert - repeating what I grasped at a blog which also might be wrong.

nixos has a services.mail.sendmailSetuiWrapper option introduced by
Lluís Batlle.

So should we introduce a global sendmailPath option? PHP also requires a
sendmail setting. I think also cron does and a couple of others
services.
